Abstract
Mean Residual Life (MRL) function plays a very important role in the area of engineering, medical science, survival studies, social sciences, and many other fields. Specially, in the reliability study of technical systems, the MRL estimation of a component is very important because the sudden stop of a system brings a serious problem. So, many simulation studies of MRL estimation have been done considering various situation variables. In this paper, four estimators of MRL are proposed under random censoring and their performances re compared through bias and Mean Square Error (MSE) by Monte Carlo simulation.
